1. The 2015 Fukushima Pinup Calendar

   Satircal pinup calendar in HTML spreadheet format reflecting on environmental devastation related to Fukushima nuclear disaster.

   The 2015 Fukushima Pinup Calendar is part of a larger piece, The Good Fortune Land, that uses Excel spreadsheets to create a narrative of the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown and its aftermath. It continues the work of Tin Towns and Other Excel Fictions (2012). 

   Artist's statement: 

   The 2015 Fukushima Pinup Calendar adds another set of data points to The Good Fortune Land. As we look back on the years between 2011 and 2015, this Calendar is provided as a vivid reminder of the history of the five-year attempt to pretty up the picture. It was also a useful calendar online or printed, for home or office. It consists, of course, of the twelve months of the year – each month commemorating one of the extant issues surrounding the “control” of the plant and its surrounding water and land. In the spaces for each day, data from 2011, 2012, and 2013, and 2014 is recalled – along with the important holidays!

2. Contre-Haïkus (Germaine Proust)

   Poetry generator made by Jean-Pierre Balpe under the name of Germaine Proust.

   This work assembles together three lines which form a new haïku each time the reader wants it. In French "Contre-Haïkus", which means "Against-Haïkus", the texts produced do not follow the haïkus' syllables rule (five for the first and the third lines and seven for the second). On the website dedicated to this project, we can also find these haïkus in a non-generative form (http://meshaikus.canalblog.com/).

   "Contre-Haïkus" is a part of Jean-Pierre Balpe's work "Un univers de génération poétique littéraire" ("A universe of literary poetic generation"), accessible through the website http://www.balpe.name/. There, he presents different projects questioning literature and creates, by mirror effect between the works, a moving universe in evolution. With time, this website should host every Jean-Pierre Balpe's works that still accessible on internet.

4. I Work for the Web: a netprov

   I Work for the Web was a netprov held in April 2015 on Twitter and Facebook. The premise: The "I Work for the Web" campaign, created by RockeHearst Omnipresent Bundlers, asked users to Tweet what it would be like if all their Liking, Following, and Favoriting were their jobs. But not everyone was a happy little link laborer. A movement was brewing. Resistance from the workers led to the founding of a union, The International Web and Facetwite Workers. But then something happened at the Web workers favorite diner Nighthawks the night of April 4th. But what? As the struggle between the burgeoning union movement and the Free corporate web played out, leaders, heroes, and cowards emerged in the form of Web workers of all walks of life from cats to children's toys. I Work for the Web was a reflection on the free labor we provide for the Internet and those who capitalize on it. Players joined by using the #IWFW hashtag or by joining the FB group.

5. Walks from City Bus Routes

   This web-based computer-generated guide 'book' perpetually proposes plausible yet practically impossible walking routes through the city of Edinburgh and its environs using JavaScript developed by Caden Lovelace and images and text culled from a City of Edinburgh Transport Map published by the Edinburgh Geographical Institute in the 1940s and a pamphlet called Walks from City Bus Routes published by Edinburgh City Transport in the late 1950s.

6. Beneath Floes

   Beneath Floes is a short work of interactive fiction written by Kevin Snow, the creator of Bravemule, with artwork from Patrick Bonaduce and sound from Priscilla White.

   Qikiqtaaluk, 1962. The sun falls below the horizon and won't return for months. You wander the broken shoreline, wary of your mother's stories about the qalupalik. Fish woman, stealer of wayward children: she dwells beneath the ice.

8. Typomatic

   Since January 2013, ALIS performing arts company, Serge Bouchardon and Luc Dall'Armellina, researchers and authors, and some students from the University of Technology of Compiègne have been actively involved in a research on the Poésie à 2 mi-mots (we could say in english : Two Half-Words Poetry or Between the lines Poetry, or Along the Lines Poetry or Cutting Edge Poetry...). This specific Poetry is an artistic practice based on special games with the shapes of letters, invented by Pierre Fourny (from ALIS). Pierre Fourny cuts words horizontally, peels them, reverses them. He shows words emerging from other words. Given than the human brain cannot devote itself to such a graphic and linguistic computational exercise, Pierre Fourny imagined a program to do so, at the very beginning of 2000. Since, the Poésie à 2 mi-mots has inspired shows, exhibitions, films, books, produced by ALIS and its partners, most of the time in a kind of handmaking way (using papers, objects, videos), making the audience forget that software was being used. In 2013, the idea was to develop the Poésie à 2 mi-mots using digital media. This project was named Separation.

9. #s1gn/4l

   #s1gn/4l is a series of twitter-poems combining image and text. The source images are signs with public orders in New York City. The rearranged texts introduce a disruption, dislocation and decontextualization of the signs, and create new #s1gn/4ls distributed via Twitter.

10. Once Upon a Tide

    ‘Once upon a Tide’ is a variable, restless, shifting narrative. Turns of phrase, stage directions, and lines of dialogue from Shakespeare’s The Tempest (1610-11) are randomly, repeatedly, and somewhat enigmatically recombined within a close, tense, ship-bound setting reminiscent of Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Sharer (1910), or The Shadow-Line (1916). On the deck of a ship off the shore of an island, two interlocutors are closely observed by a narrator who remains hidden from view. Not quite a short story, not quite a stage play, ‘Once upon a Tide’ is just one of those moments in literature when time … stands … still. (Source: J. R. Carpenter, The Junket)
